Rangers Sign Soto

The Rangers have re-signed catcher Geovany Soto to a one-year deal, according to Evan Grant of MLB.com (via Twitter). The deal is pending a physical.

Soto, 29, had a .198/.270/.343 batting line with eleven home runs in 361 plate appearances for the Rangers and Cubs last season. The catcher, who earned $4.3MM in 2012, was non-tendered by Texas just days ago. Last year marked a significant dip in offensive production for Soto and the Rangers hope to see him get closer to his career slash line .248/.336/.437 in 2013.

The Rangers starters really liked pitching to Soto (3.90 ERA with him catching). He's Darvish's personal catcher. Soto's a funny guy so he's relaxing to work with. Other than that, he's pretty much useless.

Lmao. The pitchers love him, Darvish has him as his personal catcher, great guy for the clubhouse,,,,,,, but he sucks.
